- TC1-2008 development
Andrew has announced The Open Group company review to commence
July 1 and run until August 15.
It should be noted that the IEEE ballot and the ISO ballot
will be submitting comments through their own channels,
and so we will need to coordinate with them, and at least
ensure they receive a comment about coordinating with any
comments raised in the Austin Group.
- General Observation on bugs received
It has been noted that some recent bugs received have been against the
new merged draft with its page and line numbers. In some cases
we have had to update the bugs to issue 7. It should be
noted that bug reports should either be against Issue 7
or the TC1 Draft 5 document and that TC1 is not accepting
new issues but editorials on the current content.
If any working group members need to obtain a copy of the
pdf version of Issue 7 they should contact Andrew.
* Old Business
+Bug 0000561: NUL-termination of sun_path in Unix sockets OPEN
http://austingroupbugs.net/view.php?id=561
We agreed to leave this open as Eric plans to update the proposal.
+mbsnrtowcs() discussion OPEN
Nick agreed to take an action to file a defect report.
+ email discussion minus sign vs hyphen-minus
There has been some discussion on the reflector about use
of minus sign versus hyphen-minus (see mail seq 17606).
Don agreed to submit a defect report.
* New Business
Bug 0000529: fildes unspecified on close()'s [EINTR] Accepted as Marked
http://austingroupbugs.net/view.php?id=529
This item is already resolved, but it was noted that
note 1255 had been added. It was agreed that we did not
want to deal with this issue in this bug report, and that
if the submitter wants to open a separate defect report
that would be appropriate.
Bug 0000573: Please add '+' to the portable filename character set OPEN
http://austingroupbugs.net/view.php?id=573
There is some more research to be done.
Joerg agreed to take the action.
Bug 0000574: ASSIGNMENT should be ASSIGNMENT_WORD Accept
http://austingroupbugs.net/view.php?id=574
This item is tagged for TC2-2008.
Bug 0000576: No format specifiers for several types. OPEN
http://austingroupbugs.net/view.php?id=576
We agreed some action is needed, but there are several possibilities.
The simple change requested (adding PRIid) is probably not sufficient.
Bug 0000577: C11 and POSIX fall into disagreement regarding clock_t and time_t Reject
http://austingroupbugs.net/view.php?id=577
Integer types are real. 6.2.5#17 "The type char, the signed and
unsigned integer types, and the enumerated types are collectively
called integer types. The integer and real floating types are
collectively called real types."
